Truth be told Kismet wouldn't have really known how to respond if Vahva had voiced that she believed him to be interesting. For starters he wasn't entirely certain if that was good or bad. He liked adventures and felt that they were interesting but apparently he wasn't allowed them without his mother's permission or else he ran the risk of getting in trouble and that certainly wasn't interesting. Fortunately the boy's mind was spared from this potentially confusing moment though, and instead the topic lingered upon those awful howler monkeys.
"Yes, howler monkeys can be very annoying. And scary at that." The boy had indeed been rather scared, Azalea had tensed slightly and it had only made him all the more nervous about this strange creatures. Though he wasn't particularly vain, he didn't want her thinking he was too afraid of them. "I wasn't really scared." He stated, a little emphasis on the 'really'. They'd worried him a little but he hadn't ran away.
"So, do you think I could be your friend?" Kismet hadn't had a friend before. His time was spent with his mother and brother and they were family, a friend was apparently different. He thought back to Vahva's earlier words though, and he guessed that he liked her, he certainly didn't dislike her. And although he didn't have to be friend's with his mother's friends, well evidently she was nice enough to have earned that title from Azalea. "I think so." He stated with a small smile.
